Answer to Question 1

A
Psychological trauma associated with rape is produced by a number of factors. Of the options given, the threat to life is by far the most traumatic aspect of the crisis. The other options may, however, add significantly to the trauma.

Answer to Question 2

A
Scapegoating is defined as blaming family problems on a member of the family who is not very powerful. The purpose of the blaming is to keep the focus off painful issues and off the blamers themselves. A double-bind, such as You have to express your feelings more, but not if..., involves giving instructions that are inherently contradictory or that place the person in a no-win situation. Tom will tell you is an example of triangulation, wherein a third party is engaged to help stabilize an unstable pair within the family. A child assuming parental responsibilities (e.g., caring for siblings) because a parent fails to do so is an example of blurred boundaries.
